Home Modification Services In Medicaid Waivers
With federal authorization, the bill permits the cap on the amount of home modification services an individual may receive to reset at the time of the renewal of the home- and community-based services (HCBS) for the elderly, blind, and disabled waiver, the persons with brain injury waiver, the major mental illnesses waiver, and the spinal cord injury pilot program waiver.
The bill aligns the statutory definition for environmental modification services in the HCBS for persons with brain injury waiver by renaming it home modification services, and, with federal authorization, permits the cap on the amount of services an individual may receive to reset at the time of the renewal of the waiver.
